That's where I want to represent because I live here.

It's a self-interest in a way, but I also deeply care about the people in this district because a lot of them in the four counties that surround Fort Bragg are veterans and military, and they're getting screwed over.

And part of my platform is...

advocating for veterans, for veterans benefits, for mental health.

As an example, yesterday, I had a VA appointment.

And because funding was cut to build the VA hospital in Sanford, where I live, which cuts the distance in half for people that live between the two,

Wasn't funded.

It wasn't funded because we're spending money on ice.

So whenever I have to go for a VA appointment, free health care offered by the government, I have to drive an hour and 15 minutes away.

That's not putting veterans first.

That's not putting Americans first.

And it was in the funding and it was cut.

Where did that money go?

That money went to a ballroom.

That money went to ice.

That money went to war in Venezuela and secret sonic weapons.

He took donors to pay for the first $130 million.

The price tag is now $319 million, and that is coming out of our pockets because it's going to fund the National Registry of Historic Sites through the national parks.

That money is going there.

What I always say, follow the money.
